The rain stopped, the smog that shrouded London dissipated, and the sky rarely welcomed the sunshine. Early in the morning, Fat Orange came to the grocery store.
"Maomao, who is responsible for monitoring the women's union, reported that Freya took action."
"Freya took action?"
Ma Wei, who was enjoying breakfast, raised his head: "You mean, Mr. Butler sent someone to assassinate her?"
"Yes, just last night."
"It seems that last night's vision was indeed related to the Doomsday Party."
Ma Wei swallowed the bread and said with a serious expression: "The Doomsday Party and the Ancient Gods signed a non-aggression pact decades ago. Now that the Doomsday Party has taken action against Freya, the demon of the Four Pillars, it is undoubtedly the first to break the agreement. The vision last night was probably a sign that the contract was broken.”
Freya believes in the ancient god of contract Belial. You can tell from the name what Belial values most.
Even Belial's sword is called the Holy Sword of Contract.
"The disappearance of the contract means that the ancient god forces can take action against the Doomsday Party." Fat Jue said: "This is not a good thing for us, but it is not a bad thing."
"Is the new experimental base in danger?"
"No, everything is normal. Except for the death of the two extraordinary people responsible for assassinating Freya, the Doomsday Party has no other losses."
"It shouldn't be."
Ma Wei hesitated and asked: "Is this incident just a coincidence?"
"I have the same doubt." Fat Orange echoed: "Although this incident happened because of you, the reason that ultimately led to the assassination by the Doomsday Party was the women's union established by Freya. At first, I thought it was The conspiracy planned by the ancient god forces, but judging from the subsequent reaction of the ancient god forces, this is more like a coincidence."
"No this is definitely not a coincidence."
Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "The ancient god forces can even bury history, let alone a small doomsday party? I believe this is a trap planned by them!"
"If the disappearance of the contract is not a coincidence." Fat Orange thought for a while and said: "That is Freya's intention to guide the Doomsday Party to take action. She knows the identity of the Doomsday Party and the agreement between the king and the Doomsday Party. She took advantage of this matter. Break the contract. Does she know too much?"
More than that, Freya knows the Doomsday Party too well!
The clues that Ma Wei and others discovered after a long investigation seemed to be transparent to Freya!
But why does she know the information about the Doomsday Party?
As he was thinking about it, Ma Wei's body trembled, and he suddenly thought of someone: "The key player in this matter is not Freya, nor me, nor James Morea! But the king, Rhodes IV!"
"Rhode IV?"
"That's right! It was Rhodes IV who did not agree to the establishment of a women's union and repeatedly blocked it. Finally, he chose to entrust the Doomsday Party to deal with Freya, the culprit. In other words, from the Doomsday Party's perspective, the existence of a women's union It doesn’t matter at all! The king forced them to take action!”
Ma Wei spoke quickly: "In this incident, Rhodes IV played a crucial role! He may even have planned it!"
"Why would he do something detrimental to the Doomsday Party?" Fat Orange was a little confused: "Isn't he with the Doomsday Party?"
"What if the one who actually signed the contract with him was not the Doomsday Party, but the ancient god forces?"
"The Ancient God Force? Are you saying that Rhodes IV is actually the spy of the Ancient God Force and not a member of the Doomsday Party?!"
Ma Wei's face was tense and his eyes were heavy as he said: "This is just a possibility, but if it is deduced according to my assumptions, the doubt that the ancient god forces did not take action on the new experimental base will be solved, because the Doomsday Party's new experimental base is Under the surveillance of Rhodes IV, rather than destroying it, it is better to keep it under the nose and watch it!"
if it is like this.
Fat Orange lowered his head and stared at the table motionlessly. After a while, he said: "This is too scary. The Doomsday Party was tricked by Rhodes IV and did not find the problem at all!"
"The most terrifying thing is not the deceived Doomsday Party, but the church." Ma Wei took a deep breath: "If Rhodes IV was corrupted by the ancient gods, what would the Kingdom of Windsor look like? The city of London would have been destroyed long ago. The ancient god forces have completely invaded!"
From the signing of the contract to the breaking of the contract, the forces of the ancient gods dug a big hole for the Doomsday Party!
Sometimes, Ma Wei suspected that he was a member of the ancient god's force. If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid London wouldn't have set off a massive women's rights movement.
"Whether Rhodes IV is a member of the ancient god's forces is still uncertain. It was all my personal conjecture without direct evidence."
Having said that, both Ma Wei and Fat Orange feel that Rhodes IV is a member of the ancient god's force. The reason is very simple. Only in this way can the reason why Freya let go of the new experimental base be perfectly explained.
The Doomsday Party is stealing the power of God, which is not allowed. The ancient god forces will not allow this kind of thing. However, due to the contract, they cannot take action against the Doomsday Party, so they design to break the contract. After that, the ancient god forces will Completely liberated, you can destroy the base whenever you want!
If the new experimental base was destroyed last night, it would certainly delay the Doomsday Party's research, but would the research be cancelled?
No, I will definitely continue somewhere else!
In this case, why not let the Doomsday Party study it in front of you?
Not only can the whole event look like an accident, but you can also know the progress of the research at all times, so you can start whenever you want.
Pigs, of course, need to be fattened before being killed.
"I want to strengthen the surveillance of the palace." Fat Orange suddenly said: "If Rhodes IV is a member of the Ancient God Force, he will definitely have contact with the Ancient God Force. As long as he finds out their contact information, there will be a chance. Dig out more members of the ancient god forces hidden in London!"
"Is Friday reliable?"
"It's not reliable. Fortunately, Xiao Hei has freed up time recently and can let it participate in the palace surveillance operation."
Mawei nodded. Friday was notoriously unreliable. He even dared to beat his own master!
Fortunately, with Xiao Hei's help, there won't be any big problems.
Ever since he learned that Fat Orange and Xiao Hei could be resurrected, Ma Wei was relieved that they would take action. They would not die anyway, and losing one or two lives at most was not unacceptable.
"The rain has stopped."
Ma Wei looked out the window at the blue sky: "But it's not bright yet."
Covent Royal Opera House at night.
"Your Majesty, the mission failed."
In Box 1, James Morea reported the situation to Rhodes IV: "We cannot assassinate Duke Chevali."
"Can't carry out assassination?" Rhodes IV cast a look: "Why? Give me a reason."
Just when James Morea was about to tell the truth, he suddenly recalled the confidentiality contract he had made with Freya. He could not reveal the identity of the other party, so he could only change his explanation: "Due to some force majeure, we were attacked during the assassination. So the operation had to be cancelled.”
"Attack? Are they the same people who attacked the laboratory last time?"
"That's them."
"The vision last night should also be related to them," Rhodes IV mused: "That means you won't assassinate Freya again, right?"
"Not in the short term." James Morea said truthfully: "We need to rest for a while. The recent series of troubles have caused us to lose a lot of manpower. I must request assistance from the headquarters."
"I hope the headquarters can send more powerful helpers." Rhodes IV did not pursue the question, sighed, and gave up the idea of assassinating Freya: "To be honest, I was really relieved to hear that your assassination failed. Even though I know it’s wrong, I still want it to be like this.”
"I can understand your feelings, Your Majesty."
"What are you going to do next?"
"Continue research and wait for reinforcements from the headquarters to arrive."
After a pause, James Morea added: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, you should relax your policies regarding women's unions. Even if you don't support them, don't continue to obstruct them. Just let nature take its course. "
This is definitely true from the bottom of my heart.
James Morea did not want to see Rhodes IV continue to fight against Asmodeus of the Four Supreme Pillars, leading to irreversible consequences.
If Freya's true identity couldn't be revealed, James Morea would have shown off his cards long ago. Why would he go to such lengths to make up lies like this?
"I see."
Surprisingly, Rhodes IV readily agreed: "Since you say so, then I have nothing to hold on to."
"It's great that you figured it out."
The next day, the sun filled the streets, and London once again returned to its previous liveliness. Mavey came to a market in Lambeth district and gave a speech again. The effect was very good, although many men were dissatisfied with Mavey's public support for improving women's rights. I was dissatisfied, but I couldn’t stand the amount of money Ma Wei gave me.
Yes, the Manstein Charitable Foundation established a poverty fund to provide a weekly living allowance of 1 shilling to families with a weekly income of less than 5 shillings. This act can be said to be a profitable gimmick, and Ma Wei promised, As long as he becomes a member of Parliament, he will turn poverty funds into fixed policies that will be effective in the long term.
Compared with the slums of East London, South London is relatively wealthy. Most of the people living in Lambeth, which runs into the Thames River, are social elites. Their weekly salary is much higher than 5 shillings. There are very few poor people. Manstein Charitable Foundation Spend a small amount of money and get a lot of praise.
This was a profitable business. The second prince and a group of staff discussed for a long time before deciding to give money to the poor people. Only in this way can they vote for Ma Wei without hesitation.
On the other side, after Congressman Donnell learned about the Manstein Charitable Foundation, he also responded by including the establishment of a living security fund in his speech.
However, Congressman Donnell's speech did not cause much sensation. First of all, Mawei was the first to propose the establishment of a poverty fund, and Congressman Donnell could only follow suit.
Secondly, the people have not seen Senator Donnell's 'sincerity' at all.
The money from the Manstein Charitable Foundation has actually been distributed to the poor people. It is obvious to the surrounding neighbors and residents. In comparison, Congressman Donnell is just a blank check.
It seems unnecessary to say who to believe.
Of course, Councilor Donnell also wants to be as wealthy as the Manstein Charitable Foundation, but the eldest prince does not intend to compete with the second prince on this matter. If they really compete, no one will benefit in the end.
However, due to Councilor Donnell's repeated pleas and the fact that the eldest prince did not want to see Mavey elected as a member of Parliament, the Conservative Party still allocated a sum of funds to support Councilor Donnell's campaign, but it was only a pitiful 10,000 gold pounds. The 50,000 gold pounds prepared by the second prince was more than one and a half points short.
As the general election comes to an end, the balance of victory is tilting towards Mavey. Today, no one in Lambeth, no, in the whole of London, does not know the name Nicholas von Manstein, a young philanthropist and a London The richest man, a wealthy financier, and a young industrialist
Rumors about Mavey are becoming more and more exaggerated. There are even rumors that if you see Nicholas von Manstein's carriage on the street, as long as you take off your hat and salute, a gold pound coin will be thrown out of the window. Doubt it, that is the reward of politeness and gentlemanliness given to you by the richest man in London.
Ma Wei didn't know how such baseless rumors spread. He only knew that when he went out now, no matter where he went, people took off their hats and bowed, their heads almost hanging to the ground.
Money, of course, is impossible to give.
The rumors must be stopped, otherwise they will get worse. If Ma Wei really gives a reward of 1 gold pound, then the rumors will not be rumors, but facts, and more people will follow suit.
Because Mavey did not give the bower a reward of 1 gold pound, within two days, another rumor spread that Mavey was a liar. Someone in the tavern criticized Nicholas von Manstein, saying that he was a complete liar. , the campaign words are all lies, no different from those corrupt officials.
Rumors like this popped up overnight. At first, Ma Wei thought it was the resentment of those who had not received the reward, so he spread rumors and slanders. Later, he discovered that the situation might not be what he thought.
"Damn it!"
Manstein Charitable Foundation, the second prince threw the newspaper on the table and said angrily: "I spent so much money on the Daily Mail! How dare they report bad things about Nicholas!"
Ma Wei picked up the newspaper, and what he saw was [Liar or Real? Personal analysis of Nicholas von Manstein! ] Such news.
"How come the Daily Mail does something like this?" Ma Wei shook his head in confusion.
"Don't think this is a trivial matter!" Stewart glared: "The power of newspapers cannot be underestimated! Someone must be deliberately smearing your reputation! Now is the most critical period of the election, and your votes have surpassed Congressman Donnell. Just keep it up and you’ll win!”
"The only person who can buy off the Daily Mail is Charles."
The second prince gritted his teeth and said, "No one has such influence and financial resources except him!"
"There is nothing to be angry about, Your Highness."
"Aren't you anxious at all?"
"Why the rush?"
Ma Wei said calmly: "This is a trick used by His Highness the Prince. It seems very powerful, but in fact it is full of flaws. We can easily resolve this crisis with the help of the church's influence."
"The church. The bishop of Lambeth supports the eldest prince."
"Is Bishop Fowler right? I hope he inspires believers to speak out against me if he does."
Ma Wei smiled slightly:
"I can get rid of him easily."
